Why does nobody warn us?

I’ve been there with the brain fog, the emotions that seem to arrive from nowhere, and feeling like a stranger in your own body. All the while wondering why nobody seems to really talk about this.

Perimenopause and menopause can be a profound transition physically, emotionally, and in terms of identity. For many women it surfaces old wounds, reshapes relationships, and alters the version of yourself you'd spent years building. That's a lot to carry on your own!

Therapy during this time isn't about fixing you. It's about having a space that's genuinely yours where you can make sense of what's changing and find your way forwards again.

Some of what we might explore:

Your experience of menopause is yours alone, but some themes come up again and again:

• Anxiety, rage, or low mood that feels disproportionate

• Shifting identity

• Strained relationships

• Loss of confidence

• Sleep disruption

• The pressure to keep performing

There's no expectation here that you should be coping better, or that this should feel easier than it does. Whatever you're bringing, it's worth exploring.
